1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesHPV infections are detected in sexually naive children. This has raised the question about the role of early HPV infections in either protecting or predisposing to further HPV infections. HPV16-specific cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was studied in 10 case-children born to mothers with an incident cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) diagnosed during their 14-year follow-up (FU), and in 21 children born to mothers, who remained constantly HPV-negative (controls). The mean age of children was 12.3 years.

methodsPeripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from blood and stimulated with peptide pools covering HPV16 E2, E6 and E7. Proliferation of lymphocytes, their secretion of cytokines, and the frequency of regulatory T-cells were determined. The results were correlated with the HPV status and analyzed in a nested case-control setting.

resultsAll children, except two controls, displayed CMI against HPV16 E2, E6 and/or E7 peptides associated with type 1 and 2 cytokine secretion. Only two statistically significant differences were found in the nested case-control setting; (1) case-children had a higher TNF-α response to HPV16 E2 (p = 0.004) than controls and (2) controls had no response to HPV16 E7.2 peptide pool while 3/10 case-children had (p = 0.013). Totally, 50 and 57 % of the cases and controls, respectively, had HPV positive oral samples at some FU-visit. In addition, the children without any HPV antibodies before the age of 6 months showed proliferative responses of PBMC after HPV16 exposure more frequently than other children (p = 0.045).

conclusionsHPV16-specific CMI is common in young, sexually inexperienced children. This suggests that oral HPV infections occur frequently in children. Our results might also explain the previous findings that half of healthy adults demonstrate HPV-specific CMI irrespective of their partner/sexual status.
